Jeenyo United Football Club is a football club based in Mogadishu, Somalia
History
The club was established in 1948, and was originally named Lavori Publici (Public Works) due to its links with the Ministry of Public Works. Most of the players came from the former teams "Societa' Calcio Mogadiscio" and "Amaruini", that played amateur football in the Italian Somalia from 1936 until 1941.
The club won their first Somalia League title in 1969.[1] The club went on to win the title again in 1970 and 1971.[1] They won the Somalia Cup in 1977 and 1980,[2] before winning their third league title in 1980–81.[1]
The original club folded in 1990 as the country descended in to civil war, but was relaunched on 11 March 2012.[3]
